Site to be shut down

adminabout 12 years ago

Unfortunately, Google decided to shut down the Adsense anyhow. I've asked for an appeal, but if they do not reply by the end of the month, I will be shutting down the site. Thanks for the good times, but I suppose it's time for me to move on.

random user generated comments or cusses doesnt qualify as extreme

I hope Riot's happy. He literally out of his way to ruin a site for thousands of people just because he's upset.

Making the site 18+ won't work when at least half of the user base is below that age
I'm just saying if it came down to that. I hope it doesn't.

Either way, let the appeal go through and see what happens. Bumpers is right, we can't really come up with solutions until we have a stronger understanding of the problem.

Honestly lucid, if you want to throw in the towel, I honestly trust bronto and Nikki to run the site by themselves. The remaining members can definitely keep this site financially stable. As for the bugs, they're not that big of a deal, and I think that we could easily find someone that could work on them in the future. Shutting down the website would disappoint thousands of people.
..running a site isn't free.

Maybe Lucid just found a way out. Nonetheless, the best solution was been stated and will be implemented, no need to resort to rash decisions, at least not yet.

You're using a site which has no realistic calculating to work out how much EM makes.

Then no realistic ideas of how much it costs to maintain the site. Do you think EM runs off a VPS?

Yeah, that's neat. I, too, would shut down my website if it made that much.
It won't make that much without Google Ads, it appears.

I'm hoping an alternative service would work, even if it had less than savoury ads and needed to make the site 18+ or something.
